Christian Network Europe: Sunday Voting is a "Desecration of the Lord's Day" and a "Defiance and Mockery of God and Religion"
Christian Network Europe is a Protestant news website that focuses on issues affecting Christians in Europe. Christian Network Europe (CNE) issued a scathing rebuke to Spain's political establishment on June 9, 2023, for scheduling the general election for July 23, 2023, which happens to fall on Sunday. In the article, the CNE argues that voting on Sunday is a desecration of the Sabbath, and if Sunday is not protected, then what hope is there for safeguarding the rest of the commandments of the Decalogue? The article expressed the following concern:"Voting on Sunday is a desecration of the Lord's Day. The fact that rulers in Spain summon the citizenry to vote precisely on Lord's Day cannot be considered in any other way than defiance and mockery of God and religion. Inevitably, the idea is transmitted to the population that God's commandments are only there to be transgressed. If this is done with the commandment of the First Tablet of the Decalogue, which is closest at hand, what will not be done with the rest of the commandments of the Second Tablet?"
Everyone is advocating for Sunday rest: Catholics, Protestants, agnostics, politicians, governments, economists, environmentalists, labor unions, businesses, social organizations, and members from all over the private and public sectors. However, what makes this call for Sunday rest significant is that the Christian Network Europe sees the "desecration" of Sunday as an opening wedge for the breakdown of all the other moral principles in God's law. In other words, when Sunday is violated, the rest of God's law quickly follows. This so-called "desecration" of the Sunday Sabbath actually fulfills what we read in the book, The Great Controversy:
"Yet this very class put forth the claim that the fast-spreading corruption is largely attributable to the desecration of the so-called 'Christian sabbath,' and that the enforcement of Sunday observance would greatly improve the morals of society. This claim is especially urged in America, where the doctrine of the true Sabbath has been most widely preached. Here the temperance work, one of the most prominent and important of moral reforms, is often combined with the Sunday movement, and the advocates of the latter represent themselves as laboring to promote the highest interest of society" (Great Controversy, p. 586).

Rome Stops Traffic On Ecological Sunday
Rome's "Ecological Sundays," which restrict traffic to reduce pollution, may at a first glance appear to be an environmental initiative on the surface, but they serve a deeper agenda-to condition the public to the idea of staying home and resting on Sundays. While rest is not inherently problematic, the issue lies in how this concept is being enforced-not through a voluntary means, but through civil law. By mandating Sunday rest…
